How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
